Guide
Overview
Introductio n

The Question-by-Question Guide presents the STEPS Instrument with a brief explanation for each of the questions. The purpose of the Question-by-Question Guide is to provide background information to the interviewers and supervisors as to what is intended by each question. Interviewers can use this information when participants request clarification about specific questions or they do not know the answer. Interviewers and supervisors should refrain from offering their own interpretations.

Purpose

Guide to the colu mns

The table below is a brief guide to each of the columns in the Q-by-Q Guide.

Column Number Question

Description This question reference number is designed to help interviewers find their place if interrupted. The question text to be read to the participants followed by question instructions. This column lists the available response options which the interviewer will be circling or filling in the text boxes. The skip instructions are shown on the right hand side of the responses and should be carefully followed during interviews. The column is designed to match data from the Instrument into the data entry tool, data analysis syntax, data book, and fact sheet.

CORE: Physical Activity

Next I am going to ask you about the time you spend doing different types of physical activity in a typical week. Please answer these questions even if you do not consider yourself to be a physically active person. Think first about the time you spend doing work. Think of work as the things that you have to do such as paid or unpaid work, study/training, household chores, harvesting food/crops, fishing or hunting for food, seeking employment. [Insert other examples if needed]. In answering the following questions 'vigorous-intensity activities' are activities that require hard physical effort and cause large increases in breathing or heart rate, 'moderate-intensity activities' are activities that require moderate physical effort and cause small increases in breathing or heart rate.
Read this opening statement out loud. It should not be omitted. The respondent will have to think first about the time he/she spends doing work (paid or unpaid work, household chores, harvesting food, fishing or hunting for food, seeking employment [Insert other examples if needed]), then about the time he/she travels from place to place, and finally about the time spent in vigorous as well as moderate physical activity during leisure time. Remind the respondent when he/she answers the following questions that 'vigorous-intensity activities' are activities that require hard physical effort and cause large increases in breathing or heart rate, 'moderateintensity activities' are activities that require moderate physical effort and cause small increases in breathing or heart rate. Don't forget to use the showcard which will help the respondent when answering to the questions.

Question
Does your work involve vigorousintensity activity that causes large increases in breathing or heart rate like [carrying or lifting heavy loads, digging or construction work] for at least 10 minutes continuously? Activities are regarded as vigorous intensity if they cause a large increase in breathing and/or heart rate. [INSERT EXAMPLES] (USE SHOWCARD) In a typical week, on how many days do you do vigorous-intensity activities as part of your work? Typical week means a week when a person is doing vigorous intensity activities and not an average over a period. Valid responses range from 17. How much time do you spend doing vigorous-intensity activities at work on a typical day? Think of one day you can recall easily. Consider only those activities undertaken continuously for 10 minutes or more. Probe very high responses (over 4 hrs) to verify. Does your work involve moderateintensity activity, that causes small increases in breathing or heart rate such as brisk walking [or carrying light loads] for at least 10 minutes continuously? Activities are regarded as moderate intensity if they cause a small increase in breathing and/or heart rate.
